They've just turned the light on. And not before time - it was getting very murky.
What time is that where they are then? I'm in a muddle with my clocks.

Sorry folks! What I thought was a monstrance was that box with a door sitting on the table. I just looked up monstrance and see I was monstrously wrong. What is that, an aumbry?

Well, the door is open, it's dark in the room beyond, and there's a thin horizontal glimmer of light visible.
I vote mirror.

ranch house in Florida.
(Dangit! The other room has been dark and suddenly the lights are on in the chapel, but no sign of a monk. Grrrr. These guys are toying with us, I'm sure of it!)
Anyway, I suspect this is a converted bedroom or dining room or something, so that door opens into a hallway or another room.
Besides, mirrors don't have sashes inside the frames, especially horizontal ones and also that piece of molding that goes under the sill (can't remember the particular name for it). That's a window, folks, IMNSHO. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

Will the NFAirFreshener be autographed by you or Simon or in some other way carry proof that one lucky shipmate did indeed win this contest?

Laura, you inspired me to look it up; I couldn't remember the difference between an aumbry and a tabernacle. A tabernacle is God-in-a-box (or the box, at any rate) on the altar, and an aumbry is God-in-a-box hanging on the wall or on a table or shelf away from the altar. So thanks.

This was my screenshot of the monstrance*.
I've only seen it twice so far. There is a list of times linked from the page, but they also say there are only three of them and so sometimes they're too busy to let Him out to play.
* It looks more like one of those 18th century ornate clocks to me, but I'll take theit word for it.

I'm wondering if the thing we can see in the back room isn't a cupboard of some sort, painted white (like everything else here, it seems). It looks as though it has a handle half way up.

I hope we are all busy writing our stories about the viewing and sending them in, as others have done? When you explore the sight, you come across a collection of them.
I am sure I will get round to it one day, when I am not busy and when my internet time is not so taken up with the Ship!

Well looking at this the best time to clock a monk is 0730 EST. Most of the comments are cringeworthy - I wholly recommend a visit here to get your fill.

In other news, it appears that the Ship 'clock-a-monk' quest is not an isolated one:
quote:
Brother John, In my quest to see a monk on your monk-cam, I have set up a web ring of a few friends of mine to watch the monk-cam at most hours of the day. This is the exciting part. Sister Sarah saw a monk! I was not fortunate enough to lay eyes on him, but I know you guys are out there! Thank you for putting your web-cam up. We love it!

They've MOVED THE WEBCAM BACK SEVERAL FEET! You can see the whole (small) room from the outside, and another doorframe, and...
No...wait...it's back in the old place. No....it's a little further forward, and you can barely see the doorframe anymore.
They are messing with our minds!

I think they got tired of us arguing about whether that was a window, a mirror, or a cupboard on the other side of the door.

Ditto - have got an image but don't have anywhere to upload it to link here. Nothing as exciting as monks in shot, mores the pity. But it being 0345, and with the alarm clock set for 0615 ready for school later, I'm going to call quits on clock-a-monk for today. Passing the baton over The Pond...

FutureFr, until a few hours ago you could see a few inches of a door on the right, and sometimes the door would be open and you could see through to the room beyond, in which there is something that looks like window or a mirror. But they have moved the camera so it doesn't show the door anymore.

Now that we can't see the altar, wherever are they going to put the monstrance? Surely they don't intend to stick it on top of the tabernacle?

My theory about last night is that the Prisoner in the Tabernacle tried to make a run for it. The reason why we can't see the door any more is that they've stationed an armed monk in front of it to prevent any more breakouts.

They've got the very top of the altar showing right now. And the monstrance they use is plenty big enough--you'll see it if it's there.

Why? Is there going to be another Annunciation, and so another Saviour? Or does Gabriel pop round every year just to say hello and ask how things are going - some sort of proxy-parental access visit?
